Allde] for H. G[osson 1628] Woodblock 1: centered above two columns and cast fleuron, below title, between borders: A magician stands on a tiled floor. He stands in the middle of a circle on the floor of signs of the zodiac and other astrological and magical signs. He wears an ornate cap that has a jewel or tassle on top of it, has a beard, and wears an elaborate floor-length coat over his floor-length robe. His coat is trimmed in fur and has puffed sleeves. Around his neck is a large ruff, and he wears some kind of necklace. In his right hand he holds a staff that points to some of the astrological signs. In his left hand he holds an open book with writing visible. He looks to the left, where in front of him sits a dragon or demon type figure that he has apparently conjured. The creature has webbed fingers, pointed wings, a long tail, and horns. On the wall behind him to his right hangs a spherical object, perhaps a globe, lamp, or round cage. On the wall to his left are a paned window and a shelf on which sit a chest and a round emblem with a type of cross or seal inside of it. Below the shelf hangs an ornate cross. : 90 x 110 Woodblock 2: centered above two columns and cast fleuron, between borders, below title: Four monks are engaged in a fight. The friars all wear robes and hoods, and are tonsured. One monk is lying on his stomach on the ground, partially hidden underneath a desk on which sits a closed book. His mouth is open, as if he were yelling, and his arms are extended in front of him. In his left hand he appears to have a club that lies across his right arm. Standing above him is another monk with a club in his left hand, his left arm extended above his head as if he were going to club the monk lying on the floor. His right arm is extended in the direction of the desk and the floor, as if he were going to grab the head of the monk lying on the floor. To the right of the second monk is a third monk, whose mouth is open as if he were yelling and who is attempting to grab the right arm of the second monk. Standing behind the third monk is another figure dressed as a monk, who has a human face but has horns and appears to have a lizard-like foot, visible underneath the desk. The devil-like monk has a club in his right hand, and his right arm is raised above his head as if he were going to club the third monk over the head. With his left hand he has grabbed the back of the third monk. A fourth hooded monk, his hands folded in prayer, is walking out the arched doorway. On the back wall of the room are two or three windows.: 59 x 9 Pepys Library The Pepys ballads : facsimile volume Editor W.G. Day D.S.

NEighbors sease to mone, And leave your lamentation: For Doctor Lambe is gone, The Devill of our Nation, as 'tis knowne. A long time hath he lived, By cursed conjuration: And by inchantments thrived, While men of worthy fashion, have conived. The pranks that he hath played, (By the help o'th Devill) Are wondrous: but his trade And all his actions evill. at one time fade. The name of Doctor Lambe, Hath farre and neere beene bruted, The Devill and his dame So cuning were not reputed, sure I am. But now he's gone the way Thats fit for such a liver; To Hell I dare not say, Some judge so, howsoever: as well they may. For such a wicked wretch In England hath liv'd seldome, Nor never such a Wich, For his skill from Hell came. that made him rich.
I neede name none on's feates, That are well knowne olready: But this my ditty treates, Of Doctor Lambe's Tragedy, my muse intreates, Your patience for a space, Whil'st I make his narration, That lived voyde of grace, And did in desperation end his race. The fourteenth day of June Which was upon a Friday, In the afternoone, We may count it a high day, for what was done. This man upon that day, As it is knowne for certaine, Went to see a play At the house cald Fortune: and going away, A crew of Sea-men bold, That went to see the action, Followed the Doctor old, And rose unto a faction, as 'tis tolde. Over the fields went he, And after him they follow'd His Devill could not free Him, for they whoop'd and holowd, till they see.

HIm enter in a house, The Horshoe neere to More-gate, Where he did carouse, But they to him still bore hate, the story shewes. Assone as he had supt, Which was with half a pig there. This multitude abrupt, Said were a Devill as big there, they'd interrupt. His coming by his death, Some Prentises did ayde them, To take the Doctors breath, No fairemeans could perswad them, each one hath A resolution bent, To kill the English Devill, About which, at they went, Though I confesse that evill was their intent. With cudgels and with stones, The followd him with fury, To bruse and breake his bones: And just in the old Jury, all at once They beate him to the ground, And meaning to dispatch him, They gave him many a wound, The Devill could not watch him, to keepe him sound. They broke one of his armes, And yet they would not leave him, But did him further harmes, And still they bad him save him- selfe by's charmes.
His scull in piteous wise, Was battered and brused, They put out both his eyes, So cursely then they used him, who spyes No rescue from his Spirits, That used to attend. So ill had beene his merits, That few men to defend, shew'd their mights. Now breefely to conclude, to 'th Counter he was carried By the multitude, Where all that night he tary'd, with blood imbrude. And then he did depart, In lamentable manner, Yet few are griev'd at heart, To heare of his dishonour, and his smart. Thus Doctor Lambe is dead, That long hath wrongd our Nation. His times accomplished, And all his conjuration, with him is fled. As his life was lude, Damnable and vicious: So he did conclude His life, and none propitious, pitty shew'd.
